New Year’s Eve is usually take out Chinese food. Seems to be a thing up here. 

 

I hope twenty four is a joyful and happy year full of peace and healing throughout the world. May we travel on our motorbikes, eat good food and make a few new friends.  Not that the old ones are bad,  but, you can never have too many. 

[syntorz]

Varies year to year, but traditionally it's been steaks n lobsters, among other fixins.

 

This year, our contribution to the pot luck is sausages (Polish and Hungarians).

 

And Rye whiskey old fashioneds.

Wife wanted to cook these along with black eyed peas and ham hocks. She can’t because we haven’t had a frost to get rid of the bitter. So I went out and bought a couple of nice fillets and a couple of big potatoes for twice baked.  BTW, me and collards don’t like each other. Guess there’s still a little yankee left in me 😁

Smoked chicken here on the cheap Weber with a side of cheese ravioli.  Smoked an 8lb standing rib roast for Christmas dinner with friends.

When does serving start?  Happy New Year!

[Hosstage]

New Year's Eve - no real tradition, sometimes steaks, sometimes hamburgers, sometimes pizza.

New Year's Day - Bloody Mary. Followed by Bloody Mary.

Gotta make sure it’s safe…  That’s called being a very responsible host. Sell it with authority and you’ll be just fine!

Sukiyaki, a traditional dish in Japan.  You cook it on a portable gas stove at your table, so it's an activity as much as it is a meal:

 

 

 

We use a lot of fresh ingredients:

 

 

 

 

At bottom-left is tofu, cut into small blocks.  Top-left is yam-based noodles; these smell a little odd fresh out of the package, but once they cook and soak up some broth they’re pretty tasty.  Next to them is enoki mushrooms (the long skinny guys).  Top-center, a big onion cut into thick slices.  Top-right, some napa cabbage.  Bottom-right is shungiku, the greens from a chrysanthemum plant.  Dead-center is a bunch of chopped-up green onions.

 

Also, some thin-sliced beef:

 

 

 

And a couple of eggs:

 

 

The traditional method is to take cooked items from the pan and drag them through raw egg before eating them, but Masako and I just crack the eggs into the pot to poach them in the broth.

 

Speaking of which, Masako makes really good broth:

 

 

Not much to it – soy sauce, sugar, and mirin (a sweet, light rice wine used in Japanese cooking) – but it’s awfully tasty.

 

A 22-ounce Asahi beer is a must:

 

 

 

We have a small gas stove that we use only for sukiyaki:

 

 

 

Yes, that's a cube of butter in the pan, for browning the onions and the beef.  These pics are from 8 years ago; we don't use quite so much butter these days.

 

The right side of the stove contains a can of butane gas:

 

 

 

It’s a pretty convenient system; the gas cannisters are available from just about any Asian food store.

 

Step one, brown the onions in some melted butter, then toss the beef in:

 

 

 

The chef, hard at work:

 

 

 

I bought that shirt in Osaka in 2014, but this was the first time I wore it!  The symbols on the shirt are related to Osaka’s name in Japanese:

 

大阪

 

The first symbol has been changed into an octopus, and he’s holding a spatula that’s used to make an octopus-related dish that’s popular in Osaka.  The second symbol, well, you can see that right below the octopus.

 

Onions and beef and broth:

 

 

 

 

With the other ingredients tossed in:

 

 

 

 

Finally, spoon out the finished goods (with some broth) and serve over a bowl of rice:

 

 

 

 

Tasty stuff.  

 

Happy New Year, folks - eat well.  

[Rinkydink]

Blackeyed Peas

Cabbage

Jalapeno Cornbread

Homemade Cheescake

Budweiser

 

Tonight though…

Happy New Years to one and all!!

Gotta work in the AM and hangovers suck anyway.

Stuffed tenderloin.

[beemerboy]

Thanks for the food porn pics, Mitch! I wants me one 'O them table top stoves and I'm gonna get one!

 

No pics from me for now but for tomorrow it'll be avocado toast with crumbled bacon and topped with an egg. We'll chase this down with Bloody Mary's.

 

After that I'll start smothered burrito's using a 70/30 mix of lean ground beef and Jimmy Dean pork sausage, diced green chilis, and refired beans. They'll go into the oven for a while then I'll top 'em with green chili stew w/pork and a healthy application of shredded cheese. We'll chase them down with some 90 Shilling barley pop.

Anybody do this? It's popular in my area. My Dad loved it, so I've had it and it is tasty. But no longer willing to risk it.

[Rougarou]

Never did raw meat with onions on bread, but growing up, would grab a handfull of ground meat, throw some salt on it, and snack it up.  Today, not so much concerned about any risks as I no longer like my meat cold.  Burgers, steaks, are cooked rare/bleeding, but warm inside.

Have heard of it:

But never felt terribly interested in trying it.
